The Mafia King's First Love-Chapter 10 - The Mafia King Knows Lihuas Sister

After the dinner which went fairly well according to Lihua considering how she broke the record of the number of insults she got in a day, it was time to wash the dishes.

"Boss, you already helped me with the cleaning and cooking. I will do the dishes."

"Okay."

"Oh please wait. Please don't leave yet. I brought ice cream today to celebrate my job offer, so we can have some dessert too. Do you mind staying for a bit?"

Wei thought for a moment. "No."

Lihua inwardly jumped in joy.

I will get to spend a little more time with him!

He went outside to wait in the living room. Since he had nothing much to do, he looked around. His gaze shifted to the wall where he saw a few photo frames hung on it.

Wei walked up to it and took out one frame into his hands.

It was a picture of Lihua standing with another woman; both brightly smiling in the photo.

He expressionlessly stared at the other woman for a long time.

Song Jia.

A distant voice rang in his ears.

"Jiang Wei. Even if I die today, don't be so arrogant. The Mafia King's ugly truth will definitely come to light. One day for sure, you will regret killing me."

A tap on his shoulder brought him out of his daze.

"Boss, here I brought the ice-cream," Lihua grinned.

She looked at the photo in his hand and brightened. "Oh, you must be wondering who she is. She is my elder sister, Song Jia."

Wei quietly glanced at her and whispered.

"I know."

She blinked her eyes. "What? Do you know her?"

Instead of answering, he asked, "What does she do?"

I think I must have heard it wrong. How can Boss know sis anyway?

Her gaze softened and she smiled. "Sis Jia works in the crime branch. Hehe, I am really proud of her. She is an awesome cop and works super hard. She has solved a lot of high-profile and difficult cases. She is strong and just and I really admire her."

Wei silently listened to her talking about her sister.

She pouted. "But I miss her a lot. The last time we spoke, she said that she was working on an important case and will be busy. That was about two months back."

"I see."

"En. She always takes some time out to meet up and chat with me, but this time, she hasn't even dropped a message until now. This is the longest time that we haven't talked to each other yet. I just hope she is safe and well."

Wei didn't comment.

He took the ice cream from her hands. There was a slight change in his voice as he spoke. But Lihua didn't catch it.

"Did she say in what case was she working?"

She thoughtfully touched her chin. "Emm...she didn't say much, but I think she mentioned something about a Mafia person."

Wei didn't react.

Lihua pursed her lips. "Honestly, I am a little worried about her. Aren't Mafia people dangerous? Sis Jia is tough, but sometimes...I feel really restless about her."

She was surprised herself that she spoke so much about Song Jia to him whom she just met a few hours ago.

"Do you have another cup of this?" His sudden question snapped her out of her daze.

Lihua was surprised to see his ice-cream cup already empty.

"Oh Boss, you already finished it. Yes, I have another one. I will bring it right away."

Wei stared at the photo frame again. His unreadable gaze was difficult to figure out. He hung the frame back on the wall and calmly sat on the couch.

He texted Fu Renshu.

'Investigate Song Lihua and how much she really knows about Song Jia's involvement with me.'

'Yes, Boss.'

---

The next morning, Lihua found a message from an unknown number.

'Fu Renshu here. Keep this in mind. Boss's identity as the CEO should be a secret until he lives there otherwise you are fired.'

"..."

She could understand that but…

Shouldn't you tell this to the Boss rather than me?

She messaged him, but she got a harsh response.

'No asking questions. Just follow the orders!'

Lihua sighed. She hurriedly got ready and stepped out of her home. She dreamily looked towards Wei's house.

Ah, it's not a dream. My Godly handsome prince is really living right beside me. I can see him every day...

"Lihua," Mrs. Zhang greeted her.

"Aunt Zhang!"

"So, how is your Boss? Is he alive after eating your food? I hope he didn't get a stomach ache," she sighed.

She coughed. "Well...it was a disaster, but everything got alright in the end."

Mrs. Zhang flicked her forehead. "I just knew that you will screw up somehow." Then she curiously looked at her. "So, so. Did something happen? Did you two kiss?"

"..."

She was excited like a typical gossiping aunt.

K-kiss?

She imagined that passionate scene and could feel her drool forming on the side of her lips.

That reminds me. Boss's lips are so thin and pink. I wonder how they will feel if I touch them…

Lihua cleared her throat. "Aunt. That is too soon!"

"What? Nowadays, nothing is too soon for you young people."

Her mouth twitched. "A pace. A pace! I need to take things slowly and not just jump onto him."

She grumbled. "Well if that's how you feel. If you want any help or tips, I am always here. After all, your Uncle fell for my charms right away," she blushed.

Lihua giggled. "Aye, aye. Oh and I remember. Don't tell anyone that Boss is rich and about the Sunshine Meadows. It would be too bothersome for him if everyone knows."

She nodded. "I feel the same. Don't worry. I will not talk about it."

She kissed her cheek. "You are the best. Now, I have to hurry. Bye."

She looked at Wei's door and sighed.

"I thought I might bump into him, but ah well…" she lamented.

Mrs. Zhang tugged her bag and pulled her back. "Wait. I forgot to tell you something. Come home early for the next few days."

She was confused. "Why?"

Mrs. Zhang worriedly said, "I heard some rumors of a man stalking young women at night. The women said that they didn't see anybody, but they heard the sound of footsteps behind them. But when they looked back, there was nobody. Goodness, it is so scary. That's why I am telling you to be careful and come home early."

Lihua nodded. "I will be careful."

Just at that time, Wei came outside, handsomely dressed in his suit, and paused as he saw them.

Lihua greeted. "Boss, good morning. How did you sleep in your new home last night?"

Wei recalled his painful experience. The bed was too small and he was too big that he got cramps in his back early in the morning.

"Sleepless night."

"Ah?"

Mrs. Zhang said, "It happens sometimes when you just move in. It takes time to adjust to your new home."

Especially for a man like you who lived in Sunshine Meadows until now…

Wei glanced at her. "College?"

"Yes," she gasped in horror. "My bus! I will miss it! I have to run."

"I will drop you."

"Ah? T-that…"

Mrs. Zhang quietly nudged her elbow. "Why are you thinking so much?" She whispered. "This is your chance to get closer to him."

She smiled at Wei. "I think it's a great idea, dear."

Lihua coughed. "Thank you, Boss."

He nodded.

As they walked away, Mrs. Zhang said, "Lihua. Don't forget what I said about the stalker. Come early."

"I remember it, Aunt," Lihua said. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

Wei slightly squinted his gaze at the mention of a stalker and glanced at her. Then he looked away.
